This is the second part of a three-part series on Tajweed rules for Quranic recitation, specifically for Hafs from 'Aasim through Ash-Shaatibiyyah. Designed as a resource for non-Arabic speakers with a strong command of English, this book delves into topics like the accent (an-nabr) in Quranic recitation, the characteristics of letters, velarization and attenuation (tafkheem and tarqeeq), and the concepts of similarity and idghaam. It also introduces essential grammar terms to facilitate understanding. Explanations are in English with Arabic terms translated, encouraging students to grasp the concepts while promoting Arabic language learning. While it cannot replace the guidance of a qualified Tajweed teacher, it serves as a valuable aid in comprehending Tajweed principles for non-Arabs studying in both Arabic and English settings.
